Hey all....So lately I'm working on an inexpensive Ibanez strat that was given to me. It currently has an UOA5 JB that I put in the bridge.The JB in this guitar series/split/parallel is great.Love the 8k split strat tones. The neck pickup is a 490R with it's stock RCA5 magnet from my 1985...

Hi all....Hey any users of the Supervee Mag Lok in your strats? I installed it in mine last night with 3 springs and set to float the bridge...Didn't care for how stiff it made the whammy feel and that terrible stop at the neutral position.Any of you folks using it with 3 springs and did you...

Re: The Peavey Bandit Appreciation thread Just got a killer deal on a Special 130 from 84 this past week...Rebuilt it and cleaned all the pots etc...Great clean tones and pedal platform amp on the cheap...To stay at where we practice..Years ago I owned the Classic VTX with the 2 Scorpions and...

Re: 7 Position Rotary Wah Switch Install Here are the cap values used in the CB 95Q wah.. Do you have caps and know where to get the parts? Smallbear is excellent for this stuff....I just always use a good quality poly cap as I honestly don't hear any tonal differences in my wahs going crazy...

Re: 7 Position Rotary Wah Switch Install Pretty common CB board layout,but there are many boards.

Re: 7 Position Rotary Wah Switch Install Line up each of the caps as shown and have one end of all the caps standing up in the air...These will all be connected together..Solder all the opposite caps ends to each of the rotary switch terminals.. I'm using a 7 position and really don't need 7...

Re: 7 Position Rotary Wah Switch Install Once you have the stock .01 "sweep cap" located on your wah board,it needs to get unsoldered and removed from the pcb. You are going to solder two wires into the 2 locations where the sweep cap was removed. One side of these wires will solder and...

Re: 7 Position Rotary Wah Switch Install And this is one of my boards....

So recently I picked up a 2nd backup Vox 847 wah...Since I now have all kinds of time to do whatever,I decided to do the sweep cap rotary switch thing in this one... If any of you would like me to show you how it's done...Give me a hollar and will try getting photos up.. Anyway....It's C5 on...

You guys that have been following my thread and helping know that I've been trying to dial in this bright strat guitar. So here's what I did and it worked great and maybe this can help someone else. First off the guitar has the G&L PTB tone system which has a treble pot with the std..022,.033...

Re: VOX Valvetronix AD60VTH head Bought my VTH 120 new love it and still own it..Play through it all the time.Great amps!

So last night I was comparing the overall output of the stock A5 Fred in my one strat and the UOA5 I just put into another Fred pickup/guitar. What surprised me was how much weaker the UOA5 magnet strength is. I took a small allen wrench and put it on top of the poles on both bobbins of both...

Regarding the stock .002 cap on the bass pot of this setup,if we go smaller on the value like a .0015,it thins the tone out more while rolling the pot towards 0. My question is...When that bass pot is on 10,is that cap still in the equation? In other words,if going from .002 on the bass pot...

Hi all..Hope everyone is doing great? Those of you that know me,know I've used the Fred pickup in one of my strats like since it came out.Sounds great in my other heavier/darker sounding strat. Well I put one in a project body that was given to me and it's kinda bright. I'm using the G&L PTB...

Hey all....So I picked up this 1x12 Fender M80 combo for $10. Had to clean every pot and jack in this thing and got everything working as it should. Spent about $15 and replaced the 26 y/o electrolytic caps throughout the circuit. Love the clean channel but the overdrive channel is just...
